- We're going to Gamescom in Cologne! - 25 July 2026
Hi there! We're attending Gamescom this year as part of the Games Croatia booth. Come say hi. At Gamescom, we will be meeting potential partners and publishers interested in our journey to the 2.0 update and console porting. Since we're working part-time on the 2.0 update, we would love to make it full-time, and to do so, we decided to look for a potential partner or publisher. To make the development of the 2.0 update faster and potentially better, we must put all our time, effort, and focus into the development. We have high hopes for the event, and with a little bit of luck, we will speed up our journey to the 2.0 release and make some new, improved chaos in no time. Stay tuned for the development updates and see you in Cologne. Cheers, Aron the Dev

- Online Multiplayer Playtest! Be the best and get rewards. - 21 November 2025
Hello!Once again, I'm super excited to announce a public playtest of our online multiplayer Chaos on Wheels. We have worked hard since our previous playtest, added few things, polished gameplay experience, and introduced progressions and rewards for those of you who stick around. The project is in Alpha state, which means many parts are subject to change, a lot of things will improve, gameplay experience will be refined, and there will be a whole garage part of the game that's missing now.Right now, we have just basic content to build upon, but we want to hear your feedback from the beginning. The mistake we made in the first game, and the mistake we're still paying for, together, because we haven't built the best game we could. That's why we want you to include in early development, to tell us what you like, what you want, what is it that we should build upon. What car styles do you li…
- First optimization update - v1.1 - 25 October 2025
Hello chaos makers! Optimization. Such a big issue with so many modern games.🙄 Unfortunately, we aren't an exception with Chaos on Wheels. That's why in v.1.1. update we have worked hard on optimizing Chaos on Wheels to run better, more efficiently, and to run stable. ❗ This is the first update of many in the series of optimizations and quality-of-life updates. ❗We improved global lightning performance (it might cost some quality, but one issue at a time 😏), changed bullet projectiles, and focused on two particular maps; Valley and Desert. We feel those maps are the most popular, and we decided to start with them. In the next updates, we'll make sure to cover all other maps as well. Before, we had every and each bullet being a projectile with its own velocity, gravity, speed, ... All that computing with so many bullets in the scene wasn't optimized, so we reworked it to be linetraced…

Hello Chaos Makers!We would like to take this opportunity to inform you about what to expect in the coming month for Chaos on Wheels. A lot of effort is going into optimizing Chaos on Wheels. Some design changes are needed, a lot of backend rework is underway, and a lot of small tweaking is required. Our priority is lower required PC specs, and to enable playing the game at stable +60 FPS on a mid-range PC. We can't make promise to make it from the first shot, but it is our goal. The first round of optimization on the game will be released in an update in the following month - October. Quality of life improvements will be part of v1.1 update as well. A lot of small, but important changes, essential fixes, and fundamental mechanics will be added to this update. With Chaos on Wheels 2 Playtest, we showed you our capability, our plan, and our will. Now we will prove to you our commitment t…

- Gold Relase! - 9 August 2025
Hello! 😎The famous 1.0 release has arrived, and I'm not sure how exactly to write down what I feel. For us indie developers, our games aren't just products we create and sell; they are much more. For us, Chaos on Wheels is a mission to bring car combat games to as many players as we can, to make the car combat genre relevant again, and show how fun and cool cars with weapons can be. When it all started, it was just two friends who wanted to make a small, cool game. Over time, it grew and became too big for the two of us, too big for our capabilities. Let's be honest, Chaos on Wheels isn't fully what we wanted to make, what you expected to be, what it could be, but it is a start, it is our first game. As some of you may assess, Chaos on Wheels isn't quite a success, and it didn't really earn the time we invested in it. Because of that, we had a tough time pushing it to the 1.0 release.…

- Major Update: New Game Mode, Melee combat, Decals and more - 29 November 2024
Hello there our fellow Chaos Makers! We're thrilled to announce our update v0.23.1.1 is finally here. With this update, we're bringing multiple major things to you. Game Mode - Team Deathmatch I hope you are a team player because teams are here. Now with the new game mode, you will never be alone, your teammates are here to steal your kills. Basically, it's the same as Deathmatch, but with two teams. Red and Blue team. Now you can destroy your brother/sister/friend/family/anybody-who-dares-oppose-you in this classic game mode of battle to the death in our splitscreen mode, and leave them and their team as sore losers. If you're not that bloodthirsty and actually wish to play with people around you, worry not. You can select to play on the same team and enjoy destroying everybody else, together. 🔵🆚🔴 Melee Combat This one is a sh*t tons of fun for me personally. While shooting friends…

- Games from Croatia, KulenDayz conference & development plans - 2 September 2024
Hello, fellow chaos makers, Not sure if you noticed before, but we (Acodeon team) are from Croatia 🇭🇷, and we're proud to say we're part of the Games from Croatia event on Steam.

Find us in our Chaos on Wheels Discord and let's hear more about your summer, and what you…
- May update - New special rockets, crosshair messages, and more - 31 May 2024
A new minor update for Chaos on Wheels. In this update, we implemented some of the features we gathered on our Discord server, so head out to the server and talk to us, we love hearing your feedback. New Special Rockets Two new Special Rockets are our biggest hit for this update. Special Rocket Ice and Special Rocket Follower are inspired by some older games from the genre, and we tried to convey the same feeling of those rockets in Chaos on Wheels. Special Rocket "Ice" Special Rocket Ice got its name because if you hit the enemy's car with it, it freezes the enemy car, disabling it completely for a short period. Your enemy becomes one big block of ice, and while it's frozen you can shoot it and make major damage to the enemy while it's defenseless. Special Rocket "Follower" Special Rocket Follower is guess what? Following enemy! - Right! Special Rocket Follower is a homing type rocket…
- Major Update: New HUD, Car Handling, and many new features, ... - 19 April 2024
To start off this new update post, first, we would like to thank you all for your patience in waiting on this major update. It took us some time, but we wanted to make it right. It was a lot of testing, tweaking, and many small changes. We hope it was worth it. The first major change we want to mention is the new HUD. Our goal with HUD was to be more intuitive, for players to easily recognize each part of the HUD, and to bring a new refreshment with a new design. Simplistic, but with key details to make it more elegant. The new part of the HUD is a speedometer, gear indicator, and a few additional small details about the car. The second major change is car driving. Each car has been revamped, a new gear setup, new engine sound properties, and a new acceleration. In general, all cars are at least a bit faster, and some are significantly faster. But, don't forget, weight has its part, the…
- Regular update: January 2024 - 23 January 2024
Minor update for Chaos on Wheels Health Scanner (Health bars) Honestly, we haven’t had in plan adding healthbars in Chaos on Wheels, but as many of you requested and suggested it, we decided to implement it. To make it more interesting, we added it as a equipment. Similar to the radar, Health Scanner is available to purchase in Market and Black Market as a “monthly” subscription. There are 4 main types of Health Scanners, each with two subcategories (Basic, Premium). Each type is defined by scanning radius, so we have Local, 4G, MASA, and StarX. Basic Health Scanner is showing health of only basic enemies, depending on the Game Mode, but Premium Health Scanner shows it all. Car Damage Effects Something we had in the previous version but it lacked some polish, so we decided to make it in this one. Car damage effects work simply, when the car gets damaged it gets scratched, and when it ge…
- Roadmap & Future of Chaos - 21 December 2023
Since the release of Chaos on Wheels in Early Access, we have been listening to players’ feedback, and trying to align feedback with our vision for Chaos on Wheels. We finally came up with a plan for the future of Chaos on Wheels. Our goal is to bring the enjoyment of car combat games to as many players as possible, to help them feel what we felt when we played iconic titles in the early ’00. The illustration below is simple and with not many details, but with all the keywords that should simply illustrate our desired path. We will explain in more detail each milestone below the illustration. New content, seasonal events, continuous support While we have our milestones set, we’ll provide continual support with regular updates. New content, bugfixing, optimization, and seasonal events will be provided during the whole development. Shift Update Shift is our first milestone and it’s one th…
- Christmas Update: Major rebalancing - 17 December 2023
Overall Game Difficulty As we more and more talked with you; our players, we come to realization that Chaos on Wheels is a bit too difficult for modern gaming standards. Although we did base difficulty on older games such as Twisted Metal and Vigilante 8, and I’m sure we get it pretty much close, that difficulty is no longer welcome to standard modern player. In the light of that, we’re happy to say we reworked our entire system, tweaked every difficulty variable and make it much easier for new players to get up the speed. Since sometimes cars felt like “bullet sponges”, we added new option in the settings menu for players that can adjust to get better overall game TTK (time to kill). Option Global Damage Factor, under gameplay settings can be adjusted for all of damages in the game. For those of you who like faster TTK, just set it to HIGH or HIGHEST, for those who like to play on safe…
